The "green bay tree" is a quote from the Bible - well, paraphrasing - about how the wicked can flourish like the green laurel, which produces leaves and no fruit. I'm not a Christian these days but I read the Bible a lot as a kid and there are some great quotes to be found in it. The wicked often do seem to get ahead, unfairly.

Yes. but they are hollow. There is no joy like we experience in love and simple things like laughing with friends.

Hardwired evil, like sociopathy, is very bored and empty. Almost all of them have addictions to try to fill that space. There is no purpose. There is never enough.

There are no sunsets where the colors and sounds blend, where all that takes one up.

Evil leads an awful life.
